"We require high sensitivity and fast response times in order to push the boundaries of Oxygenated Volatile Organic Compound (OVOC) research in both air and seawater. The PTR-MS meets these requirements and is also extremely adaptable, enabling us to carry out our novel science not only in the laboratory, but also at sea."

"Measurements of VOCs are extremely rare in the tropical region of Asia. In India a variety of sources such as anthropogenic, biomass burning, biogenic and photochemical sources contribute to the budget of VOCs. In tropics, the fast response time measurements of VOCs are required to understand the rapid photochemical formation of ozone and secondary organic aerosols. In India, the PTR-TOF-MS based measurement is particularly crucial to understand the tropical photochemistry. The high time and mass resolved measurements of VOCs using PTR-TOF-MS will be important to estimate the emissions flux from terrestrial vegetation and surrounding oceanic regions of India.[...]"

A week of training and experts’ lectures at “the home of PTR-MS” Our team prepared intensively for a week of training that we proudly hosted at IONICON a couple of days ago. We conceived lectures and workshops, prepared documentation and polished up our PTR-TOFMS instruments for Early-Stage-Researchers (ESRs) from the Horizon 2020 ITN project “IMPACT”. The ESRs […]

Visit our booth # 1622, lecture & posters in Chicago, March 6-9. After New Orleans and Atlanta, Pittcon is back to Chicago. The “windy city” is a welcome stop on the conference schedule and will be host of the event at the beginning of March, aiming to attract thousands of scientists from all over the world. This year […]

Indoor Air Quality

Room-air VOC detection and monitoring

Real-Time measurements of VOCs causing smells or adverse health effects.
Monitoring of chemical contamination related to the Sick Building Syndrome. Sensory impact on passengers in aircraft cabins, cars (VIAQ) and workers in offices or family homes.

Petrochemical Applications

Automotive

Real-time vehicle exhaust analysis

Monitoring exhaust gas from combustion engines, emitting a large number of different compounds and with rapidly changing concentrations due to variations in operating conditions, necessitates an instrument that measures in real-time and with high sensitivity – an IONICON PTR-TOFMS.

Biotechnology

On-line Monitoring of Bioprocesses

IONICON PTR-MS systems can analyze trace gas concentrations of volatile metabolites in the off-gas of bio-pharmaceutical fermentations in real-time. This highly relevant process related information can be used for on-line process monitoring and process control.
